Dune: Part 2: New Season is all set to reveal big secrets and big action.
Denis Villeneuve’s new film is a mind-blowing continuation of David Lynch’s cult classic that picks up twenty years after the events of the original film. This stunning adaptation will be unlike anything you have ever seen.
What is the plot of the story ?
Twenty years after Paul Atreides (Oscar Isaac), his family, and their allies defeated Harkonnen on Arrakis, Paul must now face his greatest challenge yet: the dreaded Emperor Shaddam of the Imperial House Corrino (Corey Stoll), who is hell bent on destroying the Atreides family. Their rivalry takes them from Arrakis across the universe to other planets and through time as they both schem and save themselves from assassination.
Who is in the cast ? What role did each character portray ?
The cast include Austin Butler , Timothee Chalamet , Rebecca Ferguson , Benjamin Hodges , Charlotte Rampling , Dave Bautista , Jason Momoa and Josh Brolin .

What are the difficulties they faced ?
As you can expect, adapting a book with such an immense amount of source material was very difficult. It required a lot of patience and hard work to accomplish. Villeneuve has stated that he was surprised at how many years it took to adapt David Lynch’s book. It is safe to say he did not have the same access as Lynch did as he was not one of the screenwriters hired by David Lynch. The themes include love, ambition and the hope to gain control of the Galaxy.
Who is the antagonist ? What are its motives ?
Paul Atreides is the antagonist of this story. Paul was the first born son of Duke Leto Atreides. He is known to be a fearless warrior. His reign as Emperor of the Galactic Empire began when he killed Emperor Shaddam Corrino during a peace treaty between the House Harkonnen and House Atreides. The epic scenes of this movie are found in the second part. In the first part, we see Paul fighting against the Harkonnen and trying to save his planet. Later on, Paul is captured by Emperor Shaddam Corrino.
Who is the most loved character ?
Paul Atreides is the most loved character of this movie which is played by Austin Butler. Butler has just hit the prime of his career and has a very bright future ahead of him. He is known for his work in Before I Fall , The Shannara Chronicles , Tully and many more.
Would you recommend watching this ?
Definitely! This is a movie for all sci-fi fans, but it’s also a movie that is accessible to any audiences. It can easily be watched as a standalone film without watching the previous adaptation. In conclusion, Dune has been adapted into two movies. They are very different from each other, but both will leave you wanting more. Thanks for reading !
